The correct response is:

two electrons and two hydrogen ions.

In the process occurring in Photosystem I, NADP+ is reduced to NADPH by accepting two electrons and one proton (which is a hydrogen ion, H+). However, since the formation of NADPH involves the consumption of two hydrogen ions to balance the charge and form the stable product, the best choice reflects that two electrons and two hydrogen ions are required for the overall reaction.
